For the first time, when a bank employee was invited to a girlfriend of a girlfriend abroad, he was very happy for the first time. However, Joy took a shock only when it turned out that the housing in the total Airbnb problem would cost £ 2500. The attempt to explain the financial difficulties ended the advice of using credit cards. As a result, Sarah rejected the journey and thought if friendly meetings were very expensive.
This phenomenon is called “frendflation” – an increase in the cost of maintaining social ties. Previously, if Bungles and boyfriends are limited to a party in the bar, they will become weekends abroad today.
The numbers speak for themselves. According to Creditspring, the average cost of a wedding in the UK is 450 pounds (48 thousand rubles – Approximately. Ed.) and 700 pounds in people between the ages of 25-34 (75 thousand rubles – Approximately. Ed.). It spends up to 1,500 lira per fifth event (160 thousand rubles – – Approximately. Ed.). Priority holidays are more expensive.
Apart from the UK is a similar situation. In the United States, 80% of the participants admitted that they felt financial pressure at meetings with friends, and almost half found it difficult to maintain relationships with richer acquaintances. In Australia, some end friendship without cope with costs.
Experts associate this with a change in priorities: after the 2008 crisis, the wealthy segments of the population began to invest in things, but in impressions – travel and cultural events. I strengthened this tendency, and social networks made expensive journeys and parties more noticeable and competitive.
Painting, parks and publicly -open salons – third areas ”complement the disappearance of the disappearance of the elimination. Friends are increasingly found in a cafe or activities where expenses are inevitable. At the same time, to talk directly about money, most people are ashamed, which makes the problem even worse.
In the meantime, we have written before, flirting, social networks and lack of business, “rejection” has become a determinant feature of young ages. What does this mean and how it shows itself – read here.
